city guidelines from Dale Miller for the city of Wichita

    LFLs must be small--the size of a bird house or dog house. Definitely not a repurposed telephone booth.  
    The city would prefer that the architecture match the architecture of the home/business where it is being installed so that it doesn't look out of place.
    Libraries must be installed out of the city's right of way, which is approximately the yard-side of the sidewalk. 
   Larger libraries must apply for an administrative adjustment and pay appropriate fees.
